250) My Brain Said No, But Also Yes, But Mostly No

Feb 03 2025 34 mins

This episode is mostly about what I love about being autistic. For context, I've only gotten three hours of sleep. I remember saying "my brain said this or did that" numerous times. But the rest of the episode is a bit fuzzy. I also shared about my interactions with other humans today and how my social skills are oh so bad. *** Email: [email protected] Autist

249) The Sensory Experience I Didn't Know I Needed

Jan 31 2025 21 mins

I watched the Fire Aid L.A. concert special that was on last night and had the best sensory experience ever. I don't mean any disrespect in this episode because I know the concert was only put on to raise money. I just didn't realize the impact it'd have on me. *** Email: [email protected] Autistic Logic Mini Course: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://angela-walker-s-school.te

248) No Sleep, One Sprained Toe, & Too Many Opinions

Jan 29 2025 25 mins

I got bit by karma (in my big toe). I also recorded this on three-ish hours of sleep. I think I was pretty coherent but I'll let you decide for yourself. *** Email: [email protected] Autistic Logic Mini Course: ⁠⁠⁠https://angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/why-this-feels-right-the-hidden-logic-behind-your-choices⁠⁠⁠ Adult Autism 101: angela-walker-s-sch

247) Sprain and Simple: A Tale of Wasted Time

Jan 20 2025 27 mins

My wife sprained her ankle and wanted to go to the ER. I told her they weren't going to do anything for her. It was a complete waste of time. I had a mini meltdown in my head and masked like I've been doing it my whole life (cuz I have). I needed to get these thoughts and feelings out of my head and body, which is the purpose of this episode. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail

244) Nine Lives, Three Goodbyes

Jan 07 2025 20 mins

We lost our third cat today 😔and two died within a year. Not a sad episode. I chat about what happened to him but also how VERY DIFFERENT pet grief is from human grief. I've lost several close people over the years. But the grief I have for a pet death far surpasses the human kind. *** Email: [email protected] Online Course: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adulta

243) People Pleasing: The Gateway Drug to Exhaustion

Jan 02 2025 34 mins

In this episode I chat about some nonsense first and then get into how I've been a people-pleaser for most of my life. How it's affected me, why I did it. And how it felt when I stopped. *** Email: [email protected] Online Course: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Public Journal series: https://www.amazon.com/author/autisticang Substack: https://autist

242) More Weird S*** That I Do

Dec 25 2024 32 mins

If you listened to the first Weird Shit episode, this is a continuation. If you haven't, just listen to this one. Unless you want to hear a woman in her 40s talk about farts. *** Email: [email protected] Online Course: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Public Journal series: https://www.amazon.com/author/autisticang Substack: https://autisticang38.subs

241) Autism: The Mysterious Case of Being a Human Person

Dec 24 2024 21 mins

In this episode I read a New York Times article that was published 12/23/24: "Research Finds Vaccines Are Not Behind the Rise in Autism. So What Is?" by Emily Baumgaertner I have some mixed feelings on this article that I share. I chose to read it because not everyone has subscriptions to the NYT or even gets the paper. I feel like it highlights some decent data but misses a huge
